PROFILE

Dorian Janmaat HEAD CHEF BELMOND LE MANOIR AUX QUAT SAISONS

Dorian completed the Professional Cookery Diploma Level 2 and 3 at Cornwall College and is now the head chef at Raymond Blanc’s restaurant in Oxford.

“Studying at Cornwall College was immensely enjoyable, the tutors have great knowledge and understanding of the industry, while making it fun to learn and encouraging the development of further skills. The Level 2 and 3 diplomas gave me the platform and basic foundations to explore the culinary area. After hard work, grit and determination I am now the head chef of Le Manoir and work side by side with Raymond Blanc; we hold two Michelin Stars and have done for 35 years. The diplomas will give you confidence and invaluable experience, providing you with a great foundation. If you wish to join the catering industry my advice is to work hard, commit yourself to your employer, be honest with yourself and use your passion to inspire others around you.”
